Solar distillation emerges as a viable remedy for addressing water scarcity in both remote and urban locales. However, its operational efficiency remains limiting factor. Consequently, this study undertakes comprehensive approach by introducing design modifications to enhance distiller’s overall productivity. The pivotal adjustment involves configuring the distiller into three-tiered structure, thus designating it multi-stage solar still (MSSS). Notably, stills are crafted entirely from...
The results of an innovative membrane distillation system paired with efficient and robust solar water collector that provides drinking high quality a low rejection rate, independent the salinity source, are presented in this study. We then optimized characterized direct contact (DCMD) experiment pilot plant. For experimental tests, brackish was used for which had varying from 1g to 20 g/l salt. showed permeate flux increased as temperature feed rate increased. To evaluate numerical records...
AbstractBeing a basic element for the every existence of any form life on earth, water is one most abundant resources covering three-fourth planet's surface. However, there shortage freshwater in many areas worldwide. Desalination seems to be suitable solution. Major conventional desalination processes, such as distillation and reverse osmosis, consume large amount energy derived from oil natural gas heat electricity, which responsible harmful CO2 emission. Solar has emerged promising...
Refrigeration systems are becoming more efficient as a result of nanofluids. Cooling and heating process improvements can lead to enhanced industrial efficiency, reduced processing times, energy conservation, improved cooling processes. A study is being conducted on the effects magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in nanofluids by adding double slip thermal radiation governing model. It numerically simulated using bvp4c code MATLAB. Analyzing temperature, concentration, velocity requires evaluation...
The present study focuses on doing a thermodynamic analysis of desalination system that utilizes the humidification-dehumidification (HDH) process with semi-open-air (SOA) circulation.
